    Leaving a game?

    I need to be careful with my time management, so my main issue is STARTING the game. I use gaming as an occasional reward after I have finished enough tasks and enough work. I usually only game late at night or in the wee hours of the morning because, well, work is never done, so it is something...

    Do you bet on games?

    I have never bet money on games, but friends and I have had game playoffs for things such as the loser has to buy dinner and, once, my buddy ended up having to cut my grass after I trounced him hardcore in Mortal Combat. I do not think I'd ever bet money on gameplay, but it would be awesome, I...

    Do you dream about your game?

    Now I don't feel like AS MUCH of a weirdo? I too want to thank you for bringing up this topic. I will confess to having had dreams about Skyrim's landscape. It's weird too because I am not sure if I am dreaming in color, but the landscape seems so vivid, and I am in POV mode running about doing...

    The Oldest Pc Game You've Ever Played?

    The oldest PC game I've ever played was Civilization IV, I think? I know that isn't that old, but I didn't play much on PC's until this game, which I think I played on an old IMAC. I remember loving that game, and the appeal of it does not really revolve around too many bells or whistles, so the...

    At what age did you get your first console/PC?

    I am in my forties, but my father came home, it seems a thousand years ago, one evening with an Atari home gaming system and two games: Pac Man and Space Invaders. At the time, I was in hog heaven--I was about ten years old, I believe, and I was an instant gaming addict without a doubt. I...

    WHY do you game?

    I love the escape factor of playing games and how they can take me away from the issues and worries that I have for a few hours and place me in an imaginative space where I can relax or decompress. I have to limit myself with my gameplay because of my responsibilities, but, I do enjoy using...

    Skyrim

    This is my favorite game ever, and after not playing games for over a decade, at one point, I was pulled back into the gaming world by Skyrim.

    Do you like playing your game with your siblings?

    I can't stand playing games with my siblings because they are truly poor sports--they hate to lose, so badly, that I have to let them win most of the time just to avoid issues so that we can have a good dinner and relax, lol.

    How possessive are you for your games?

    I am VERY possessive of my games...this might be a personal shortcoming of mine, but, it's like lending out books if you lend out a game--you will NEVER get it back. In my experience, lending things out does not work that well, even with relatives. Even when I go to a friend's house to play...

    How do you choose your games?

    I choose my games, a lot of the time, through my roommate--she is a huge gamer, and we grew up together and have similar sensibilities, so she can figure out if I'd like a game or not before I even know. She turned me onto Destiny recently. I go and look at the trailers also--I just enjoy...

    Favorite hand-held system?

    I must admit that Gameboy is my favorite handheld, even today--this may have a great deal to do with the fact that I am addicted to playing Tetris on it, but, alas, it is true. My girlfriend's son loves it as well, and he is 9, but he will play on it before he will play a game on an Iphone or...

    What was your first console

    Oh my God...you are all going to laugh. I am 45 years old, and I remember being over-joyed when my father brought home PONG--I think it was called PONG--where you used a bar to bounce the white dot back and forth. After that, of course, we had an Atari system, which, actually, I loved, and I am...

    Best rpg game you ever played

    I know I keep mentioning it in many forums, but Skyrim would have to be my favorite under this category. I loved the mods, the quests, the occasional magic weapons I could find, and the never-ending surprises on the road. I also liked the challenge of constantly improving and trying to max out...

    How do you take losing when you were young?

    I didn't take it well--I would tend to just reset the game and start all over, like some sort of OCD-inflicted perfectionist, until I could get through each board in what I thought was a "perfect" execution. It's funny, too, because I am really usually laid back about competitions and can...

    Most 'useless' game ever?

    Good Lord, Flappy Bird was a colossal waste. However, I think I have that topped--growing up, I loved playing Mario and Super-Mario, but I made the mistake of acquiring Hotel Mario once. Now THAT was the worst game I think I ever tried to like. Ridiculously bad.

    If You Can Think of a Nickname about How you Play, it Will be...

    I think mine would be "RampantBeserkSlashAndBurn" when I play Skyrim. I have one character, an orc, in one campaign, and all I do, to blow off steam, is running around just wreaking havoc. I know it is wrong, but it is very cathartic.

    Games you would like to see..

    This might be a little out there, but if any of you are familiar with the TV series STRANGER THINGS, I would love to see a game based upon that. There is an interdimensional and government conspiracy element to this program which I think, with the right designers, could make for a very...

    Losing Yourself (and Time) in the Game

    I totally get lost in the game...I will go in on a Friday, clean-shaven, un-ruffled, and emerge, after having finished the game, with a full beard, pizza sauce on my shirt, a disheveled look, and red eyes from the screen. I am mainly kidding, of course, but yes, I most definitely lose time in...

    Do You Use Cheat When Playing Game?

    I must admit that, when I get stuck on a certain puzzle and get a bit frustrated, I will Google cheats. I know this is a sad thing for a gamer to do, but I have a very cerebral job, and by the time I have time to play games, I can be pretty mentally exhausted, so I am mainly trying to just blow...

    Last Game Played?

    The last game I've played extensively was Skyrim Elder Scrolls 6. I know for many this may seem boring, but as a guy in his forties who grew up playing Dungeons and Dragons out of the box with the dice, etc., I really got sucked into this game after avoiding gaming for years due to my schedule...
